Verifying correct configuration of the fabric
Copying the command outputs from this section into a file is recommended.
1. Create an "after" SAN profile by entering the following commands and copying the output to a text file named SANafter.txt:
• nsShow
• nsAllShow
• switchShow
• fabricShow
• lscfg --show (if using the Virtual Fabric feature)
switch:admin> nsshow
Type Pid COS PortName NodeName TTL(sec)
N 020f00; 3;10:00:00:01:73:00:29:46;10:00:00:01:73:00:29:46; na

2. Determine any differences between the information in the SANafter.txt file and the information in the SANbefor.txt file created
earlier. In particular, look for differences in the following:
•
Device types
• Number of devices
• ISL and port states
• Number of switches in the fabric
3. Resolve any issues or unintentional changes to the Brocade DCX or fabric:
• If there are any mechanical problems, try reseating the associated component.
• If the configuration information is not correct for the Brocade DCX, modify as required.
• If other issues exist, contact your support provider.
Cable routing table
The following table is a 64-port template for a cable routing table. Make copies of the table to cover the total number of ports in the
Brocade DCX.
